Chapter 1900 – 1900. The Dark Moon
After the alchemists left, only Ha Seung-hee and I were left.
“This time, the things Yujin sunbaenim brought were bad. I didn’t expect it to be something as great as the HB-1.”
“Boom. Well. Bister I and Bister II have only been checked. The real thing is different.”
What I took out of my pocket was a white metal. The things I took out earlier were just a glimpse, and this was the real thing.
“… What metal is it?”
Ha Seung-hee’s voice suddenly became serious. I guessed that I didn’t bring useless metal.
“Galcinium.”
“Galcinium?”
“It is a metal I discovered and named by myself. This fun thing glows silver when activated. Like hairtail.”
Paper weave.
A slight current was generated to stimulate the galcinium. Then, the galcinium turns into a brilliant silver color.
“It is an interesting metal.”
“Will it be fun? Its strength is similar to that of titanium. It also has the property of accumulating electricity and restoring its shape using electricity.”
“… It can be used only when the shape is fixed. Even if you process it at best, if it returns to its original form, it is useless.”
“It can fix its shape with high-temperature flames.”
This was the information Na Chae-young found out.
“I thought you could congratulate me, right? How much can you accumulate?”
“Compared to a battery of the same size, at least 12 times more? If you process it well, it will be more than 20 times more efficient.”
“… !!”
Ha Seung-hee’s eyes widen. She kept her cool, desperately hiding her expression. Although she couldn’t hide the fact that her neckline was moving up and down.
“… It was a great thing.”
“EMP doesn’t work either.”
It has already been confirmed in practice. Galcinium absorbs electromagnetic waves.
However, the specs I talked about are all specs from [Eternal Eden]. It was certain that the specifications of Galcinium had fallen since it was brought to reality.
“I think yes. It may not even be half effective.”
“That alone is more than enough to revolutionize the battery world. What do you want?”
Ha Seung-hee couldn’t take her eyes off her galchinium. She covets her like this, so I think she did a good job letting the alchemists go. It would be a big deal if I showed it to the alchemist first and leaked it.
“Well. What do I want?”
“…”
Less than 10 minutes had passed since she said that even though she had a lot of money, she had nowhere to spend it. I am not interested even if they give me billions of dollars.
Ha Seung-hee thought about it until she let out a sigh and began to take off her clothes.
Ha Seung-hee was also a smart woman. I know exactly what I want For the time being, she seemed to be able to peck Ha Seung-hee like a dog.
‘Still, she didn’t say she would give her galchinium.’
After she returned home, she intended to enter the world of the Dark Moon for the first time in a while. She should be able to earn a lot of points because the penalty is strong there. Above all, it is because the environment is configured to better handle the characteristics of lightning.
‘The wizard’s experience will be very helpful when dealing with lightning strikes.’

The morning air in Neo-London was stuffy even today. It would be correct to say that soot is not able to permeate the air. People say the air in Neo London is worse than cigarettes. I don’t know if that’s true, but people don’t really care. Even if there is a disease in the bronchi, it can be overcome with the power of magic and science.
“Master. Let me sort it out.”
YuRia comes over and tidies up my clothes. As she approached, even the filthy air of Neo-London was transformed into the scent of sweet flowers. She straightened my suit with her white hands. Her gentleman’s attire is something she cares about so much so that she is always grateful for her help.
“Yuria. Today, as I said the other day, I will expand my business.”
Yuyu Chicken was a hit. Citizens of Neo London, who had a taste for Korean-style chicken, all came looking for chicken. There are even foreigners who come to taste the chicken. There are more and more chicken restaurants following Yuyu Chicken, but in the end, Yuyu Chicken will win the title of original.
The important thing is that I raised capital through Yuyu Chicken.
‘It’s impossible to become a noble with just one chicken shop.’
Korean chicken is new, but that’s all. It wasn’t even leading the food industry as a whole.
So business expansion. To be precise, I’m starting a new business.
Magic tool business.
I was quite confident in magic engineering, so I was thinking of moving this way.
‘All related markets are red oceans, but… I can’t help it. Because you can’t go up in the chicken business.’
Exactly what to make and sell has not been decided yet. First of all, I plan to take over a suitable factory and lay the foundation. It will take at least a few months, so you need to prepare the foundation from now on. It was also necessary to remodel the machine one by one.
“I see. Then I will follow.”
“There is no need for you to step out.”
“I can help the owner because I know the knowledge needed to take over the factory. Above all, if you go alone, you will be ignored. In neo-London, if a gentleman doesn’t carry an employee with him, he’s ignored.”
There was nothing wrong with what YuRia said.
In Neo London, butlers and maids are high-class personnel. Butlers and maids are not only security guards, but also secretaries. Carrying an excellent employee with you can in itself be envied.
“You cannot be ignored. Come with me.”
“Please wait ten minutes. I will come prepared.”
I sat down on her sofa and opened her newspaper to wait for her. In Neo London, newspaper information was much more accurate and reliable than TV, radio, or the Internet.
I’m not the type to read newspapers, so I quickly read mostly interesting articles. Most of them were related to magic or magic engineering.
‘Illegal magic enhancement procedures are rampant, so you need to be careful… Isn’t this unavoidable? Because magic-enhancing procedures require a lot of money.’
Magic enhancement. Engraving a semi-permanent magic circle on the body. Think of it as a tattoo with a buff effect. Usually mercenaries with money want magic enhancement treatment. Because there are no side effects.
‘There’s an interesting article on politics as well.’
It was an article about the Divine Consul of France and the nobles of Neo-London having a fist fight during a special district cooperation meeting. The reporter cursed at the nobility. It wasn’t because he punched the archon first, it was because he lost to the archon.
“Master. Ready.”
YuRia said at the entrance of the front door. Dressed in a maid outfit for going out, she was still beautiful.
Suddenly libido rears her head. Because she inadvertently remembered what had happened last night. I quickly erased my thoughts.
YuRia’s eyes met. Yuria smiles, her blue eyes twinkling. Pierced in a corner of my heart, I hurried my steps and left the front door.
A carriage was waiting in front of the porch. It is a carriage that has been called in advance. The coachman looks at me and greets me politely.
“My name is Alex, the first-class coachman of the Unicorn Company, who is serving Mayer-sama today. I will make you feel comfortable.”
“Please.”
I got on top of the carriage with YuRia.
Got into the wagon Would you say it is a wagon from the Unicorn company? As soon as you enter, you can feel the magic engraved everywhere.
“I will depart.”
It moves forward smoothly without any vibration. It is incredibly stable for a horse-drawn carriage.
‘Have you applied shock mitigation magic to the wheels? The windows and walls are enchanted with protection. I can’t even get a scratch with a decent gun. It’s worth the money.’
Half a year’s salary of an ordinary citizen fell into this one wagon. It was outrageously expensive. But I couldn’t help it. For Neo London, outward appearances were more important than you might think. Even an aristocrat with a title is ignored by ordinary citizens if he has nothing, and even an ordinary citizen who has a lot of things is treated more than an aristocrat. Can not help it. Neo-London is a cold capitalist city that claims to be a class society.
The wagon soon entered the T area. It is a factory area. Yuyu Chicken Factory is also located here. The place where the wagon actually went was on the opposite side of Yuyu Chicken Factory.
The place they arrived at was an abandoned factory more than twice the size of the Yuyu Chicken Factory. It was an abandoned factory, but the appearance was not much different.
The coachman opened the carriage door. Yuria got off first, followed by me.
“Mr. Mayer. I was waiting. This is Manager Marik from Hear Ground.”
Herground was a firm specializing in real estate brokerage in neo-London. High-end buildings with high prices or factories of a certain size are managed by Heoground.
Manager Marik was a man with a strong physique and an 8 to 2 parting. He seems to be in his 30s, but considering that the power he feels from him is not normal, his real age is unknown. He might be in his 50s or older.
“This is Eugene Meyer.”
She shook hands with him.
“Are you the owner of Yuyu Chicken? It’s an honor to meet you. My kids loved the chicken there. Did I mention Korean chicken? I tried it too and it was very tasty. With beer, this is…”
“I appreciate your compliment. I would like to take a tour of the factory right away.”
“Ah. Please wait a moment. In fact, there are more people who have decided to come here.”
“… Is there one more? I haven’t heard.”
“You forgot what I said.”
Marik said with a smile. There is no proper apology. The two eyes say so. Does it turn off if you twist it?
I felt something jump up, but I held it in desperately. In my head, I thought of ways to kill Marik secretly.
‘… This. Why am I like this? Calm down. You already know that things like this are common in Neo London. I’m not in a position to be treated yet.’
The strength in his shoulders was released. There is also Yuria behind her, but she can’t look unsightly.
“It just happens to be over there.”
A wagon pulled by mechanical horses approaches from afar. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the mechanical horse.
‘It’s a combat machine.’
I had a feeling that today would be a rough day.
